Ozempic®, a medication that contains semaglutide, has become a popular option for those looking to lose weight. Known for its ability to help people shed pounds by reducing their appetite, Ozempic® has made a significant impact on the lives of many patients. However, one common concern that often arises is whether using Ozempic could cause your breasts to shrink.
As you lose weight—whether from Ozempic® or other methods—fat is often lost from numerous areas of the body, including the breasts. Since breasts are largely composed of fatty tissue, it is possible to lose weight in your breasts. This has led to the term “Ozempic® breasts,” a phrase used to describe the changes in breast size some people may notice during their weight loss journey.
While the potential for breast shrinkage exists, it is important to remember that everyone’s body reacts differently. Some individuals may see minimal changes in breast size, while others may experience more noticeable reductions. Rapid weight loss, in particular, can sometimes lead to changes in breast shape or volume, especially if the skin doesn’t have enough time to adjust to the new contours of your body.
If you’re concerned about the side effects of weight loss on your breasts, there are several options available. At Advanced Aesthetic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Thomas Lintner, MD offers a range of procedures that can address physical changes to a patient’s breasts and help them achieve their desired appearance. Dr. Lintner performs breast augmentation to restore volume and fullness, as well as enhance breast shape following weight loss. For those experiencing sagging or loss of firmness, a breast lift may be an ideal solution to rejuvenate and lift the breasts to a more youthful position.
While Ozempic® can help you achieve your weight loss goals, any side effects on your breasts can be managed. Whether through a breast lift or augmentation, there are ways to restore or enhance your breast appearance post-weight loss.
